Mayor Solomon is capitalizing (pun intended) on the increased valuations of property to play more shell games with the city budget.
He's proposing $2 million more for the fire department, while calling for cost reductions.
("Here's more money, now I want you to cut your budget."
He's offering $500,000 more for schools while increasing the legal budget by more than $500,000.
(I'm not giving the schools the money they've requested and I'm ready to pay lawyers to defend that decision in court."
He's increasing taxes, while taking another $3.5 million from the surplus.
("I'm so worried about the surplus that I'm withdrawing more from it.")
Is it even worth hoping that the city council stands up to Solomon and his attempts to fool people?
